According to owner Michael Reynosa, the barbershop will provide 100 backpacks filled with essential school supplies on a first-come, first-served basis. The event will also feature free haircuts for students, with a team of barbers ready to serve the community.

“It’s important for us to give back and support our community, especially as families get ready for the new school year,” Reynosa said. “We are grateful for the help we’ve received and want to pay it forward.”
